Tat limited by the relative fragility of its banks;
and Italys performance (76.4) is mainly explained by

Achieving equality, sustainability and growth
together is possible but needs proactive, far-sighted
leadership. There is a worldwide consensus on the
need for a more holistic model of economic progress
that promotes higher living standards for all, respects
planetary boundaries, and does not disadvantage
future generations. The results suggest that there is
no inherent trade-off between equality and growth: it
is possible to be both pro-growth and pro-equity, as
shown by the strong performance of several northern
European countries in terms of both competitiveness
and inclusion. The relationship between performance
on the GCI 4.0 and on environmental measures is less
conclusive. The most competitive economies have
the largest ecological footprints, but they are the most
efficient (their footprint per unit of GDP is the lowest). It
is therefore incumbent upon leaders to set longer-term
priorities and proactive efforts to create virtuous cycles
between equality, sustainability and growth.
